Right, Hatzegopteryx was at least as large, probably a bit larger, than Quetzalcoatlus. But the difference here is that while Quetzalcoatlus was a large predator of small prey (newborn dinosaurs, lizards, maybe fish, and carrion), Hatzegopteryx was a true apex predator in the then european islands, having a proportionally bigger head and a stronger beak, and preying on small-medium size dinosaurs.
Another missing context: back then, there was too much oxygen for us to breathe, resulting in us fainting, so even if we did have time travel technology, we would still collapse from the excessive amounts of oxygen.
@jared2880 I think that would be if you were born in that era, specifically into the main family that would have lived for longer periods of time. We'd have evolved differently, that is. (Also this is just my view on this, please don't attack my opinion :
To put this creature into perspective, these animals are one of the few that would dare challenge a *Tyrannosaurus Rex* for food . Yes. A giant flying predator that was capable enough to challenge the *T-Rex* for a carcass. Let that sink in.
No tf it wouldn't bro 😭 One bite from a tyrannosaurus and its done for, most creatures don't contest with the apex predators for food especially a creature that has a large exposed neck. One bite and it's over for the quetz
@@GodzillaWarrior2021what the great Muhammad ali say float like a butterfly sting like a bee just fly and peck the t Rex's back thats like having a bird keep flying in and pecking you youll die eventually even if it takes hours time isnt of the essence also pain
@@GodzillaWarrior2021 Have you not seen *”Prehistoric Planet”* ?? And keep in mind, dinosaurs are *animals* . Not like the ferocious killing machines depicted in the Jurassic Franchise.
The worst part is that a similar sized relative of Quetzalcoatlus, the Hatzegopteryx, could literally swallow a human whole, and it probably would too.
It’s overall a great video, but I’m not sure what you mean by them eating “very small invertebrates that are in water”. That makes no sense. However them eating baby dinosaurs is correct.
Quetzals were suprisingly only about 400-500 lbs, so despite them surely being large enough to swallow a human, they would not be able to take off with the extra weight, so they'd much rather skewer you & then peck off what they need from there. Also, don't think they wont actively hunt you as azdarchids (the family of pterosaurs the quetzal belongs to) were rather quick & would definitely find a slow, soft & adequately sized mammal absolutely worth its time.
I'm not convinced that it wouldn't try to eat humans. We've seen animals try to eat things that are larger than they can handle. There was a pelican that tried to eat a capybara, and toads are known to die from ingesting prey bigger than their stomach.
@@shovelknight14 Who do you know that owns an RPG, has the correct ammo, can operate one effectively and won’t shit themselves and die after seeing that thing?
Its painful that there is no mention of Azhdarchid *OUNCE* and also Quetzalcoatlus wouldn't hesitate attacking you if you look weak, they aren't pure scavengers and they would Intimidate things that somewhat equals its size
Some more missing context:Quetzalcoatls was first discovered in 1971 in what is now Texas it was massive it was as tall as a giraffe and its wingspan rivaled the wingspan of a small plane it lived 70 million years ago and died out with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago
if a quetzalcoatlus saw a person, they’d probably eat it, as they ate things like juvenile hadrosaurs, which could easily surpass a humans height and width.
I would be a hell of a lot more scared of an Argentavis Magnificence. Though a vulture and hopefully not aggressive, birds are just brutal when they do get violent. I don't really know about the biggest birds of pray ever, but they would probably top pterodactyl's anyway.
Would not eat humans? I don't think humans existed back then. A buffalo won't eat humans either, doesn't mean they wouldn't absolutely flatten you if they feel threatened.
The quetso was i think one of the largest flying dinosaurs. I think they're about half a plane size im not to sure. I love dinosaurs but i haven't done alot of research on these one's

That low key doesn’t give af

They would for sure hunt us we were the perfect size of food for quetzalcoatlus.
I’m pretty sure they would choke.
@EagleEdits100 They would not swallow you whole, they would stab you with their beak and eat your flesh like an actual predator.
Fun fact: pterosaurs had forward swept wings so they could support their large heads and improve their low flight speed
That's James, he's chill
The new subtitles for the shorts are insane and so 🎅🎅🎅 🤑 🐡
What are those captions 💀💀💀
Queso cactus could never hurt you
CaseOh cactus. 🐘🌵
Omg you're on fire, Sterling! Give my regards to your son!
Could you please go back to stationary captions?
Considering that some baby dinosaurs were as big as humans, then that means they would eat us. 😳
naw im running away in 1.1 seconds💀
It’d out run you on land, unless you brought a gun you’re never gonna live.
Listen, I know these things are already long gone, but it’s good to know they probably wouldn’t eat me anyways. 😮💨
Yoooo
🤖
They would still be able to stab you with their massive beak
@@Robstar664 not bot
If they came back today, they would meet American freedom 🔫
Pterofying, you say?
I would just sit there and take it
yo the captions are different again. is sterling trying to update his format?
I don’t know but it’s giving me a headache
Go back to the old text man 💀🙏
That’s literally me at 3 AM😭
I’d die of fear
They will eat anything
Here Birdy.. Birdy.. Birdy..
I would honestly tame this bird and use him to hunt other animals like an eagle,if i can..
An eagle would probably dominate Quetz in the sky, if it grabbed onto Quetz’s neck with its talons it’d be done for
Apparently they would've most likely smelt of rotten flesh due to there opportunistic diet
It’s overall a great video, but I’m not sure what you mean by them eating “very small invertebrates that are in water”. That makes no sense. However them eating baby dinosaurs is correct.
We wouldn't register as food to them
Ain’t no way bro just post
Super pterofying 😰
There was one that could eat humans, but it lived on an island in Europe.
This would kill you

Dam sterling, 2.5M subs? Your channel grew a lot, you deserve it.
Also, thank you, finally learned to pronounce pterodactyl
Quetzals were suprisingly only about 400-500 lbs, so despite them surely being large enough to swallow a human, they would not be able to take off with the extra weight, so they'd much rather skewer you & then peck off what they need from there.

How come you upload 10 videos in one day?
Arent these these the things that evolved into chickens?
Pterosaurs went completely extinct while some small dinosaurs survived the impact + the impact winter that came after

@@jameszilla2879Well, considering its size I’m sure it would comfortably go after and eat humans.

I love it when someone says the word "dinosaur"
Tiktok person vs person subtitles giving me headaches and bit of mental pain
Seen enough Jurassic Park to know Imma walking Big Mac even if giant condor here doesn't eat me.
It's fair to assume it would think of us as an easy meal. After the first bite, we would be on the menu.
They would definitely eat humans. Lets get that straight
Its painful that there is no mention of Azhdarchid *OUNCE* and also Quetzalcoatlus wouldn't hesitate attacking you if you look weak, they aren't pure scavengers and they would Intimidate things that somewhat equals its size
Those hands on the first slide, boy I'd die of a heart attack long before he could get anywhere near me
Nice text effects btw
The word "Quetzalcoatl" means a dragon with no limbs and wings just like the Ampithere.
The Quetzalcoatlus: *has legs*
Finally he gets to know dinosaurs
Some more missing context:Quetzalcoatls was first discovered in 1971 in what is now Texas it was massive it was as tall as a giraffe and its wingspan rivaled the wingspan of a small plane it lived 70 million years ago and died out with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago
Hatzegopteryx or whatever is another one
if a quetzalcoatlus saw a person, they’d probably eat it, as they ate things like juvenile hadrosaurs, which could easily surpass a humans height and width.
hi guys
The subtitle makes me think there will be beat drop and epic transition
Luh calm fit vibes
That wont kill me....
Other giant will probably kill me first 😆
That Giant Chicken dorfs the guy standing next to it!
Remember folks, never go time-travelling without packing ample amounts of ammo, your trusty ol' shotgun and your ever dependable raging bull pistol. 😊

Ever seen a bird rip something apart? Like a chicken or crow, birds of prey have beaks designed for it, so isn't the same lol.
The dinosaur thinks he him😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx are scary
Would not eat humans? I don't think humans existed back then. A buffalo won't eat humans either, doesn't mean they wouldn't absolutely flatten you if they feel threatened.
I don't think I would like to discover that myself 💀
my favorite dinosaurs
It’s not a dinosaur
Missing context: there is no time machine and never will be.
Any Azdarchid Pterosaur can eat humans, if not whole, they will peck you and eat you piece by piece.
I just noticed the subtitles of what he is saying looks like he's in an edit, lol
Its a bird no its a plane wait no it a bird???
It's actually a reptile ☝️🤓
Can't imagine how is a million years ago type of species gigantic would look like. Especially those who lives in deep lake or sea. and in the air
Idk sterling is part of the csi
If that thing is so big wouldn't we be the things it is scavenging for??? Like how small is small back the???
